A poem a day to keep brain rot away

Join me as I attempt to create a poem a day... whether awesome, bawdy, corny, dreadful, entertaining, fabulous, gross or hilariously hokey, I will try to string together everything from couplets to limericks - just for the fun of fiddling with words!

May 3rd, 2012

Today is quite a special day. I have actually reached the one year mark. I posted my first poem on May 3rd, 2011. I have had a great time doing this. It has basically become a habit and I don’t really want to stop. So, I am going to continue this thread because I have enjoyed it so much. It’s true that most of the poems were terrible. Some were good (or at least I thought so!) but mostly they were a reflection of something I either saw that day, thought of, felt or heard. In any case, I hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as I have. Here’s to letting the word out – come what may!

Scales

Trying to find a balance
Between the earth and sky
A meadow full of wishes
Of hopes both bold and shy

A twilight world of beauty
Where friend and foe alike
Feel the twist of irony
As convictions melt from sight

Is this what they talked about
When we were but floor high?
Believing all they sold us
Living the greatest lie?

Now the scales are falling
Not just for you and me
But for the world around us
Waking to stark reality
